Re: [dwm] Notifications

> I've wrote a simple bash script that takes care of wrapping long lines

I think I should have given an example of its intended usage:

notify "Martin says:" "I'm going home now, I will give you a call later, cyl!"

The second parameter will be wrapped. The popup will appear
uncollapsed (both title and body lines visible), top-left and stay for
8 seconds. These are the defaults, which can be easily changed by
tweaking the code.
